Biggu Posted 4 October , 2014 Share Posted 4 October , 2014 Do I have this correct?... 330th Siege Battalion is part of the 66th (2nd) East Lancashire Division, and is the Divisional Artillery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Evans Posted 4 October , 2014 Share Posted 4 October , 2014 330th Brigade, Royal Field Artillery was part of 66th Division, but 330th Siege Battery, Royal Garrison Artillery was a different unit. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggu Posted 9 October , 2014 Author Share Posted 9 October , 2014 I hate to be a pest, but how do I find the 330th Siege Battalion RGA? I'd LOVE to find the war diary at best, but even a history of them would help.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Evans Posted 9 October , 2014 Share Posted 9 October , 2014 The only war diary under 330 Siege Battery is WO 95/545. I'm no RGA expert and it may have amalgamated into a higher formation etc. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggu Posted 9 October , 2014 Author Share Posted 9 October , 2014 Hey Thanks Phil I will check it out and I'm sure it will cost me a bit, but this is a lot more than I had a short while ago.. thanks.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggu Posted 9 October , 2014 Author Share Posted 9 October , 2014 I have put in a request to see if they will print it and costs.... i will buy it, just waiting.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Evans Posted 9 October , 2014 Share Posted 9 October , 2014 A guaranteed 3 figure sum. They are in the process of digitising it at the moment, so I would imagine that it will be released some time next year. There is a thread somewhere on the Forum about release dates.

Biggu Posted 9 October , 2014 Author Share Posted 9 October , 2014 Holy, 3 figures... that is a LOT of cash....... maybe I should be a little more patient....and wait .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggu Posted 15 October , 2014 Author Share Posted 15 October , 2014 Phil, you were right, they want over 500 Pounds....... might have to wait to down load it from the internet.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEW Posted 15 October , 2014 Share Posted 15 October , 2014 Have an interest in the 330th SB myself. The original diary will be 'unavailable in the reading rooms 22 October 2014 – 02 January 2015'. So I guess that gives a digitised release date. TEW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggu Posted 15 October , 2014 Author Share Posted 15 October , 2014 Well, that is great information, I am hoping I can access a copy of the digitised release and order a copy to print myself, that would be great......I guess I will have to stay tuned as they say.... I sincerely hope that with luck some kind soul out there might be generous enough to keep me posted , if by chance I miss it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
